I bought this the first time in the early 90s. Much easier than a needle and thread and the plastic attachment hooks, which fit in the Buttoneer are long lasting even more than thread. They're also easier to use. I was delighted to see the Buttoneer still being offered and thought I'd buy another simply for the attachments. Having a spare if needed is insurance. Since the 90s all items in the original Buttoneer are still 100% effective.This is the perfect item for a bachelor or 'ette who dislikes sewing but wants their buttons to be attached quickly, more efficiently and is easy on-the-go & great while out of the house; camping or such.You won't do wrong buy investing in one of these!

I bought this in a drug store back in 1996 and I still have it today. I just used it to attach a button to a flannel shirt and the button was attached in less than 2 minutes! Now that I see this website has it, I will be buying some additional fasteners as they last. They stand up to hundreds, if not thousands of washings and I've never had a fastener undo itself after I've attached it with the Butoneer tool. The entire kit is durable - I've owned for over 17 years. It is extremely easy to use.

Tried to replace a button on my husbands pants. It worked but the button fell off when he sat down. Then we tried one of my blouses and it stayed on. Can't use it on thick material.But it does the job in a pinch.

The Buttoneer is a throwback tool that works great for attaching buttons. I love the product but felt that for what you get, which is very small, the shipping and handling should be free. I might be mistaken but I think the cost of the product + the sh/handling were about the same. Normally I would not have purchased this Item, but did because it's a Christmas gift for someone special.

Had the product for many years. Kept in the laundry room that's when I find the repairs needed. I have found refills in those " buy all see all" magazines that come in the mail. Best helper I've ever bought.

I HAVE USED THIS ON MORE THINGS THAN I CAN TYPE ABOUT OVER THE YEARS. HEM THAT, REPAIR THIS, NIP THIS, TUCK UP THAT. AND IT WORKS GREAT EVERYTIME..AND IT DOES STAND UP IN THE WASHER AND DRYER JUST GREAT. ONLY PROBLEM IS...NOT ENOUGH PLASTIC STITCHES INCLUDED AND I CAN'T FIND REFILLS..EVEN ON THE BUTTONEER WEBSITE...PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS DELIMMA.
